Being in the southern hemisphere, their summer is our winter, so it’s a great place to spend time when the weather is bad here for some winter sun! Due to distances involved though temperatures range dramatically from one end of Australia to the other so check before you book what time of year best suits your type of holiday. Many ports along the southern shoreline of Australia are visited as part of a round the world cruise.
Our process for planning a holiday to Australia
When planning a holiday to Australia there are so many things to consider and we will chat to you to find out what your priorities are and work on a bespoke itinerary for you. The main thing is not to underestimate the distances and time it takes to travel between the major cities, after all, there are several time zones in Australia! Once you have decided which part of the country you want to visit, think about the mode of transport, type of holiday and what sightseeing tours you want to include. There are various 'hop on hop off' buses for budget travellers and even if you book a private tailor made holiday, you can still add in excursions and activities.
